Chelsea and United as well as Manchester City have been monitoring the Juventus midfielder over the past few months.

But Real, according to reports in Italy, are intent on beating the Premier League trio to Pogba's signature.

Mino Raiola, Pogba's agent, said: "Will he stay in Italy? No. It will be up to them [Juventus], we have renewed his contract, we're happy with Juventus but when the time is right to leave we'll take that opportunity."
